We were at my dad’s at the beginning of October for family pictures. Trust me when I say the farm is one of the most spectacular places to be in the fall. The leaves in the maple bush are full of golds, reds and oranges. It is absolutely breathtaking to take that final corner and […]

This weekend we all got up at the crack of dawn, packed up the van and headed out to “our” race. Every year, we do the emergency services run in our town. It’s mid-October and fah-reezing. Every time. Last year, it snowed. For serious. The temperature, though, makes for perfect running weather. The race is […]

Earlier this week, or maybe it was last week, I was talking to my sister (hi Sam!!) about how our weeks looked. If you think my week is ridiculous, you should ask her about hers. Assuming you know her. Otherwise it might be a little awkward. Anyway, I thought I would share what our current […]

Back in August, the Husband cleared the basement out and we hired someone to come in and spray foam the basement. After 7 years away from doing “inside” home renovations, things are starting to progress again. When we bought this house 11 years ago, we knew that it was a fixer upper. The basement was […]

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving and so I have a lovely brief rest from the hockey rink. No boy has ice time. And yesterday we only had one game. One amazing, phenomenal game that blew me out of the water. Seriously, you see these kids practice and learn, but now and then it all seems to come together and […]

Ok, so we are officially in Month 2 of the hockey season. My bones are consistently cold and my whole system is kind of out of whack because it’s trying to figure out why we are going from cold interior to warm exterior in October. I don’t know about your area, but where I am […]

There is nothing like the first goal scored by your baby. Nothing. Let me get something out of the way first: I have no expectations when it comes to my boys and hockey. Ok, that’s not true, I expect them to play when they are on the ice. And I expect them to listen to […]

By far one of my strongest skills is organization. Seriously, I organize all the things at work and home. Thankfully it filters to time management and scheduling for us because otherwise hockey would break me. My personality is well suited for it too, as chaos generally sends me into a tailspin. Now here’s the thing, […]

What is it about a song that makes the world make sense? It soothes the raw nerves. The right tune brings you back in time. I’m nine, sitting in my grandmother’s living room in her olive green rocker with worn arm rests listening to The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. I can still sing it back […]

Well, I made it through the trial by fire that was last Saturday. And I wish I could say that things are going to go smoother from here on out. But the truth is that this is just the beginning of the busiest 6 months. Hockey season. So much to do, just pass the caffeine. […]
